Did you know that only 2% of the population are redheads? They are also mostly left-handed and a big chunk of them lives in Scotland.

Anyway, those beautiful fire crackers above are the focus of Brian Dowling’s three years photography project that is being turned into a book. This amazing photographer traveled across 20 different countries to snap photos of over 130 redheads to show the beauty and diversity in this rarest of hair colours in the most natural way.
